Pretty smooth but try and make your hand motion the same. Your grip changes in your left too much between your standard deal and your bottom. But otherwise near dead on.
 
Work on the sound focus on the sound difference when you deal normally and bottom sometimes a slight unusual sound can mean the difference between life or death(if you were to use Bottom Dealing in an actual game)
 
I am not sure if this is a laggy video, or just couldn't be seen from the speed, but you seem to have the stiff thumb problem. When you deal fairly, you use the thumb from the dealing grip hand to push over that top card, but when you strike the bottom, your thumb is still. This is the one of the most important details for the falses in general. If you were already pushing that card, my apologies.

Honestly, I've been doing the cardini change for so long that I don't have any issues with angles any more. My only issue is performing it for a group of people. Other that that, I love it! If I am performing for a large group, then I usually use the duck change.
 
If you want a good book, I recommend Gene Maze, he is fantastic and where I learned the strike bottom. He also includes routines.
 
It looks nice. I think to make it look very good, try to keep the rhythm when you are bottom dealing the same as when you are not bottom dealing.
